Roadrunner High Speed Online vs. DSL and Dial Up

Road Runner is an Internet service offered through various cable companies to customers who are looking for fast, reliable high-speed Internet access with the best features available.

Which is a Better Fit for You - Road Runner High-Speed Online, DSL, or Dial-Up?

With the many choices available to consumers searching for high-speed Internet service, it's helpful to compare the features of Road Runner cable Internet to those offered by DSL and dial-up services to see which is right for you. Speed - Road Runner offers download speeds up to 10 Mbps. That's several times faster than the average DSL service and more than 100 times faster than dial-up.

Reliability - For the fastest, most reliable connection, Road Runner beats both DSL and dial-up. Dial-up runs through your phone line, so you can use either your phone or your computer, but not both at the same time. And if you've ever waited for a dial-up connection, or had your Internet browsing interrupted by an incoming phone call, you know how frustrating it can be. DSL connections use a second telephone line, so the phone and computer don't interfere with each other, but DSL can be impacted by the distance between your home and the phone company's central office. The greater the distance, the slower and less reliable your DSL connection may be. Road Runner high-speed online gives you a dedicated connection that runs through your cable company's line, independent from your phone - you can't be interrupted by an incoming call. And your connection is always on -- there's no waiting, it's ready when you are.

Security - Road Runner's high-speed Internet service comes with a comprehensive Internet security suite that includes anti-virus and anti-spam software, parental controls, and firewall protection - all at no additional cost. These powerful security tools protect your computer from dangerous viruses, worms, and spyware and keep your personal information safe.

Customer Service - Road Runner's award-winning customer service and technical support is available 24/7 by phone, email, or live chat.

Road Runner Email and Special Features - Road Runner high-speed online gives you five email accounts with ample storage; personal Web space; free security suite; and parental controls.

Roadrunner.com - At Roadrunner.com, high-speed Internet subscribers can enjoy on-demand videos, movies, streaming radio, online games, shopping, security tools, photo sharing, as well as the latest local and national news. Plus every subscriber can build a personal web page with up to 50MB of storage at no additional cost.
